wheat sheaf

Tied grain stalks

A wheat sheaf is a bundle of cut wheat stalks bound together, traditionally tied near the top and left to dry in the field before threshing.

The image appears frequently in heraldry, folk art, and harvest decorations, symbolizing abundance and agricultural prosperity: A wheat sheaf centerpiece adorned the Thanksgiving table.
